The Mall of America’s terrazzo floors, glazed white like doughnut frosting, ribbon out in every direction, creating a vast mirror maze of consumerism with 520 glassy storefronts. Shoppers, who have escaped an endlessly gray Bloomington, Minnesota, sky on a Monday morning in October, drift through the largest mall in the United States like tourists at an Atlantic City buffet. A couple holding hands strolls into a Zales while buttery perfumes emanate from an Auntie Anne’s next door. Kids and some willing parents fling around on the SpongeBob SquarePants Rock Bottom Plunge roller coaster, one of 27 rides at the Nickelodeon-branded amusement park on-site. Distant echoes of saxophone Muzak clash with both elevator whirs and bubbly pop songs. Somewhere in this otherworldly commercial expanse are five Lids stores and four Sunglass Huts. When the mall opened, in 1992, it represented the pinnacle of retail convenience and a mecca for young people to gather and spend. But the $650 … [Read more...] about The Future Of Retail In The Age Of Amazon

In the old days, fashion stylists used to spend days leading up to photo shoots running around town hoping to find the perfect pair of ankle socks or the just-so faux-snakeskin stilettos. Now they can — and do — just order it all on Amazon. It was stylist Keely Murphy, whom we wrote about last year (she has a whole Instagram account, @fashionsecrets93, based on the wild, wonderful, and often very 2019 pieces she’s found while trawling the site) who tipped us off to this. So we reached out to her and three more stylists who regularly delve into the deep depths of Amazon for fashion shoot-ready wares. Alongside Murphy, there’s Ashley Munns, a stylist based in San Francisco who picks around Amazon for her tight-budget editorials; Ashley Guerzon, who’s done work with FADER and Clash; Hannah Black, a Chicago-based stylist and the creative director of IN Magazine. Below, they share their most surprising — and most useful — finds. Dream Field Mens … [Read more...] about 4 Fashion Stylists on Amazon’s Weird, Wonderful (and Useful) Secret Treasures

It was billed as a luxe culture festival on an exclusive island. But Fyre Festival will long be remembered as a schadenfreude sideshow where rich kids got suckered into staying in wet tents and surviving on cheese sandwiches. Last October, then-26-year-old Fyre founder Billy McFarland was sentenced to six years in prison for falsely advertising a musical-getaway-turned-screaming-hellscape. But the question lingers: How did the disastrous event that had wealthy influencers taking selfies from inside a locked airport even happen? Lucky for us, both Netflix and Hulu have competing documentaries on the topic out this week. Netflix’s “Fyre” debuts Friday, and is partly produced by Jerry Media, the company that marketed Fyre Fest. (USA TODAY has reached out to Netflix and Jerry Media for comment.) Hulu, however, beat Netflix to the punch Monday by dropping "Fyre Fraud" with no notice – and their project boasts an exclusive … [Read more...] about Obsessed with Fyre Fest drama?

The Tank is turning 10. “Shark Tank,” ABC’s durable reality series that invites budding entrepreneurs to pitch products to investor “sharks,” marked the start of its 10th season – and 200th episode – Oct. 7 (Sundays, 9 EDT/PDT). To celebrate, USA TODAY exclusively ranks the show’s top-selling products, ranging from the Scrub Daddy sponge to on-the-go lobster. The series has featured a thousand entrepreneurs and brokered deals totaling $125 million in investors’ cash. Along with Barbara Corcoran, Robert Herjavec, Kevin ("Mr. Wonderful") O'Leary, Daymond John, Mark Cuban and Lori Greiner, this season will feature new guest sharks Charles Barkley and Jamie Siminoff, who pitched the DoorBot home-security system (now known as Ring) in Season 5 but turned down O’Leary’s royalty offer. Siminoff returns as the show’s first entrepreneur-turned-shark in Sunday’s opener, after selling his … [Read more...] about ‘Shark Tank’ exclusive: These are the 20 best-selling products ever featured on the show

Steven Rinella has made hunting and fishing cool this century, which is no small feat given that every outdoors theme was seemingly plundered of all novelty and freshness by an assembly line of books, seminars, TV shows and magazine articles the past 60 years. In fact, no outdoors category was more relentlessly exploited than fish and game cookbooks. Everyone and everything cranked out cookbooks, most of which were politely unwrapped at Christmas, thumbed through once, and quietly assigned to the anonymity of guest bedroom bookshelves. Rinella — an author, writer and host of the “MeatEater” podcast and TV show on Netflix — always seems to find a better way. He’s proven his originality once again with “The MeatEater Fish and Game Cookbook,” a 368-page full-color book that earns its keep in the kitchen and on the coffee table. The book’s “cut-based” organization is noteworthy. As Rinella writes, deer can be broken down into 12 … [Read more...] about An essential fish and game cookbook and more can’t-miss holiday outdoors gifts
